There was a very thin plastic gasket on the back side of the face of these warren hubs. Does anyone think that silicone would be a bad idea, since the hubs aren't made anymore?

 

[under_psi]

edit** yup. found it. im a clown.

 

[under_psi]

Waiting on the crypt keeper to pop out one of these days.

Rear discs.

 

[wct49]

once you go rear disc you will NEVER go back.

 

[under_psi]

ill buy the discs if someone comes over and installs them for me.....im not trying to take the spider gears and s*** out.....

 

[dnp]

Drums. Stay.

Thus sayeth the man who has new front discs on his '68

once you go rear disc you will NEVER go back.

Indeed

It's actually really easy. I did it on mine. Piece of cake.

You can source the individual pieces for way cheaper than $400 tho

I didn't pull my axles. I cut the backing plates as far as possible with an angle grinder. Then I pulled out the cold chisel and BFH. Oh and hearing protection!
